[0001] The present invention relates to a distillation apparatus for raw materials, and more specifically, to a distillation apparatus for raw materials that enables the distillation time to be shortened by allowing direct heating through a first steam line and indirect heating through a second steam line to be applied to the raw materials, and enables the temperature and pressure of a pressure vessel to be controlled to a set pressure and set temperature according to the opening and closing of a first valve and a second valve, thereby allowing for precise control of pressure / temperature control when separating oil of a specific component from the raw materials, so as to enable the separation of high-purity oil from the raw materials. Background Technology

[0004] The heating container (20) is provided with a heating means (70) comprising an electric heating wire (71) fitted to its cylindrical surface, an insulating material (26) and a cover (27) that wrap around it, and the inner container (30) is provided with a ventilation pipe (32) extending inward from the center of the bottom while having perforated holes (30a), and the cooling pipe (41) is configured to extend into the cooling means (40) on the mounting stand (10) through a downward turning point (h) that is higher than the height (H) of the heating container (20).

[0005] The extraction device described above improves the configuration of the inner container holding the pine needles so that heating is effectively carried out even in the center of the clustered pine needles, and maintains the height of the downward turning point of the extension pipe through which the heated steam is discharged at a certain height or higher, thereby enabling effective distillation.

[0006] However, the above extraction device has a problem in that it takes a long time to distill because it heats the heating container (20) from the outside using a heating means (70) by means of a heating wire (71), that is, indirect heating.

[0007] In addition, since heating is performed without a separate water supply (or additional supply) within the heating container (20), there is a limit to the amount of extract obtained from pine needles.

[0008] In addition, the extract is obtained by simply cooling the steam that has passed through the cooling pipe (41) to liquefy it, so the concentration is low. Prior art literature

[0030] The distillation apparatus for raw materials according to the embodiment of the present invention heats the raw materials by supplying steam inside the pressure vessel, thereby eliminating the need for a separate water supply device and simplifying control. Additionally, by controlling the temperature and pressure of the pressure vessel to a set pressure and set temperature according to the opening and closing of the first valve and the second valve, it enables precise control of pressure / temperature control when separating oil of a specific component from the raw materials, thereby allowing high-purity oil to be separated from the raw materials.

[0031] Pine needles are used as an example of a raw material applied to the embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 5, the distillation apparatus of an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a pressure vessel (100) having a container body (110) having an internal space (111) that is opened and closed by a cover (130) and receives raw materials, and an insulating body (120) having an external space (121) that surrounds a portion of the outer side of the container body (110); a first steam supply unit (210) that supplies steam to the internal space (111) to heat the internal space (111) to a set temperature; a second steam supply unit (220) that supplies steam to the external space (121) to heat the external space (121) to a set temperature; and a primary condenser (310) that condenses distilled water discharged from the internal space (111). The apparatus comprises: a primary oil separator (410) that separates the condensate condensed in the primary condenser (310) into oil and residual condensate; a secondary condenser (320) that condenses the residual condensate; a secondary oil separator (420) that separates the condensate condensed in the secondary condenser (320) into oil and discharged condensate; and an oil collector that collects the oil separated in the primary oil separator (410) and the oil separated in the secondary oil separator (420).

[0033] Between the first oil separator (410) and the second condenser (320), an exhaust valve (415) for exhausting air from the residual condensate is provided.

[0034] In addition, the distillation apparatus of the present invention is provided with a first steam line (212) having a first valve (211) that connects the first steam supply unit (210) and the internal space (111), and a second steam line (222) having a second valve (221) that connects the second steam supply unit (220) and the external space (121), so as to control the pressure and temperature of the internal space (111) according to the opening and closing of the first valve (211) while distillation is discharged from the internal space (111), and to control the temperature of the external space (121) according to the opening and closing of the second valve (221).

[0035] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the pressure vessel (100) is provided with a receptacle (140) having a plurality of holes formed on its outer surface and accommodating the raw material in the central part of the internal space (111), and an annular steam supply pipe (150) disposed at the bottom of the receptacle (140), having a plurality of steam discharge holes (151) formed on its outer surface and connected to the first steam line (212).

[0036] It is preferable that the steam discharge hole (151) be formed on the side of the steam supply pipe (151) so that steam is sprayed toward the inner wall surface of the container body (110).

[0037] The distillation apparatus of the present invention, configured as described above, operates as follows.

[0038] Referring to FIG. 2, the distillation method of the raw material of the embodiment of the present invention first involves introducing pine needles into the internal space (111) of the pressure vessel (100). The lid (130) is equipped with a sensor for measuring the pressure and temperature of the vessel body.

[0039] The above pine needle is received in the above receptor (140) and placed in the center of the internal space (111).

[0040] The above pine needles undergo a pretreatment process of washing, dehydration, and cutting.

[0041] Next, steam is supplied to the internal space (111) and the external space (121), respectively, through the first steam supply unit (210) and the second steam supply unit (220), to heat the internal space (111) to a set pressure and a set temperature.

[0042] While distillation is discharged from the internal space (111), the pressure and temperature of the internal space (111) are controlled according to the opening and closing of the first valve (211), and the temperature of the external space (121) is controlled according to the opening and closing of the second valve (221).

[0043] While distillation is being discharged from the internal space (111), the pressure and temperature of the internal space (111) become lower than the set conditions. At this time, the second valve (221) is opened to heat the external space (121), thereby indirectly heating the internal space (111) to maintain the set conditions.

[0044] Meanwhile, the pine needles are positioned to be accommodated in the central part of the internal space (111), and the steam supplied to the internal space (111) through the first steam line (212) is sprayed toward the inner wall surface of the internal space (111). This prevents the pine needles from scattering within the internal space (111) and clogging the steam outlet when the steam is sprayed directly onto the pine needles.

[0045] Next, the internal space (111) is heated to a set pressure (12 bar) and a set temperature (115°C) for a set time (1 hour), and then distilled water is discharged to a primary condenser (310).

[0046] At this time, it is desirable to discharge distilled water to the outside for a certain period of time from the internal space (111) heated to the above-mentioned set pressure and set temperature, thereby discharging contaminants remaining on the pine needles at the beginning of heating to the outside.

[0047] The above distilled water is condensed by passing through a primary condenser (310), the primary oil is separated and collected from the condensed primary condensate in a primary oil separator (410), and the remaining condensate is condensed by passing through a secondary condenser (320).

[0048] Next, the secondary condensed water is separated into secondary oil in a secondary oil separator (420) and collected together with the primary separated oil.

[0049] Meanwhile, before passing the residual condensate through the secondary condenser (320), air is exhausted from the residual condensate through the exhaust valve (415) to facilitate the flow of the condensate and to facilitate the separation of a very small amount of oil in the secondary oil separator (420).

[0050] A distillation apparatus with the above configuration heats the raw material by supplying steam into the pressure vessel (100), thereby not requiring a separate water supply device, which simplifies control and simplifies the structure.

[0051] In addition, the distillation apparatus of the embodiment of the present invention can control the temperature and pressure of the pressure vessel (100) to a set pressure and a set temperature according to the opening and closing of the first valve (211) and the second valve (221), thereby enabling precise control of pressure / temperature control when separating oil of a specific component from the raw material, so that high-purity oil can be separated from the raw material.

[0052] In addition, by allowing the raw material to be heated directly through the first steam line (212) and indirectly through the second steam line (222), the distillation time can be shortened, and the pressure and temperature of the internal space (111) can be maintained at the set conditions, thereby maintaining the boiling point of the oil to obtain high-purity oil and shortening the acquisition time.
